After ACC official Karl Hess kicked former N.C. State stars Chris Corchiani and Tom Gugliotta, Facebook immediately lit up. Below are some of the responses.
That ref was just having a bad day, that’s all. Perhaps he needs more bran in his diet.

Way to go Chris! Don’t back down on this one….
That’s if you are pissed that Googs and Corch got thrown out of yesterday’s game…let your voices be heard and get that bastard of a ref, Karl Hess, fined or fired….
Rabbit Ears for sure!!
Hey all my friends who are Wolfpackers–in regards to Tom and Chris getting kicked out of the game on Saturday. Chris and Tom were my boys when I worked at State with student-athlete academics and no players have ever been better ambassadors for Pack Athletics. I was there sitting behind them at the game, and ironically at half-time, Chris commented on how the RBC staff act like Nazis
The next game that Karl Hess referee’s at….the entire student section should chant… Kaarrl…Kaarrl….YOU SUCK! Over and over and over and over…if one person gets kicked out, the whole lower level should leave…talk about making a statement…Hell, I would have gone courtside and raised enough hell to be thrown out yesterday if I had been there in support of you guys!
Chris Corchiani Tom Gugliotta Gotta love how the Wolfpack nations stands behind their own…Googs and Corch were already legends, but now they are legendary as fans!
I guess they should have thrown us all out in Reynolds when you played.
Ken Harris Lenny Wertz and Larry rose should have kicked me out of Reynolds a dozen times if they were as sensitive as Hess.
Cheers Chris…Sometimes a pitcher has to hit somebody to send a message. Part of the game…
Chris, I know you have heard this already, but you and TG may be the wildest boys I know! Go Pack!
Refs are supposed to be invisible during a game. More and more these days Refs think it is about them not the players. A thin skinned ref needs to find a new hobby!
Way to go Chris and Tommy!! Yow needs to fix that silly event!!
Stand strong my Wolfpack brother!!! The entire Wolfpack Nation is behind you and Goog on this one!!! Way to stand strong!!!
All ACC fans share in the outrage! Can I get a technical for what I’m thinking?
Coach V just got T’d up from heaven.
only at NCSU would this happen. I guess Hess was just board.
Imagine my shock when I was watching ESPN and see your name on The Bottom Line, “Tom Gugliotta and Chris Corchiani ejected from Game” WHAAAAAT? lol
Hey Chris what happened out there today. I heard you gave the refs a peace of your mind. They did not like it and you got tossed. What in the world is going on.
Thanks for standing up to the poorest officiating in the NCAA. All year long, its been horrible. Hess heard the truth and it hit a nerve, that’s all.
Good job buddy. Be strong.
I am a FSU grad but more of a Corch fan. Sorry that happened. Stupid. Fire & Ice & Goog!
You looked good on the internet. They showed your good side. lol Thats a bunch of crap what they did to you two.
That-a-boy Chris!!! That was sweet!!!!
Throwing out two Wolfpack great looks even more ridiculous from across the country. Good thing I wasn’t at that scorer’s table.
Corch, that Karl Hess will get his!
You’d think after the way the officials changed the outcome of the Duke game they would owe us one.
That is so bullsh*t, same crap as Paparo when you played, bastards want to be part of the show with no real talent to behold!!!!!!!!
My last thoughts on Facebook about the Chris Corchiani ejection today: I have known Chris and his wife for about 15 years. I can promise you Chris understands the he is a representative of NC State no matter where he goes. He would NEVER have cursed an official from right behind the scoring table. This was an example of Karl Hess losing his cool as he has done many times before.
If Roy Williams had to answer for throwing a fan out of a game, Karl Hess should have to answer to it too. The ACC should call a presser tomorrow and force Hess to answer to it.
Give Em Hell….Corch..luv it
cant believe that crap , i guess he couldn’t do it years ago so hes doing now
What’s next? Is Karl Hess going to spit on David Thompson next week?
I can’t believe that my good friend Chris Corchiani was booted along with Tom Gugliotta from the FSU/NC State basketball game today. Karl Hess is another example of a large ego official who changes the course of games with poor calls. And by the way, I was cheering for Florida State today and still thought this was a crock!
Ridiculous. ACC refs are a JOKE!
If anything, you guys are getting a lot of love from the students! Maybe you need to come have lunch at the Annex Food Court at the library. We’d love to have ya.
Chris, this was such BS today! The fans are in an uproar over this and they should be! Since when can you go to a game and not yell at the refs! It pissed me off. I need you to come on my show Monday night so we can talk hoops and talk about this. What disrespect for two all time greats at our school! Never would have happened at Duke or UNC.
Shoulda pointed at the jerseys in the rafters on the way out! tell Tom and Nikki is said hello, and call me this week.
I heard you went Corchiani on them today. Good stuff #classiccorch
David Allen Great work guys. Love the fire you still have for the Pack.
Chris, do what u gotta do. We’ve been shorted 2 games in a row. Enough is enough.
Dude…. what in the world was THAT all about….. we got your back buddy! GO PACK!!!
